T507 Social Networking Sites
Emotional, behavioral, and socio-economic issues in social media research. Prerequisite: friending the instructors on Facebook (and don’t you put them on “Limited Profile” mode – they’ll know! This is their area of expertise, after all).

This special edition of T600, known as the Media Arts and Sciences Stage Frightened Speaker Series, is an opportunity for people to present their research to an empty room while everybody else is on summer vacation.
T666 Post-Apocalyptic Design and Production
Topics will include: how to film zombies from a safe distance, survival mechanisms, using carcasses as an energy source for production equipment, and how to edit out your own screams. This class is not the same as T513, a narrative fiction class where you make the horror. In T666, which is geared toward documentary filmmakers, the horror comes to you! Prerequisite: owning a gun and knowing how to use it.
